The Effect of Intrachain Cross-Linking for Glassy Polymers

Suwon Bae’s new paper is now out in Macromolecules. This manuscript presents his molecular dynamics simulations examining the thermo-mechanical behavior of glassy polymers assembled from single chain polymer nanoparticles. Suwon’s simulations showed surprisingly good agreement with our earlier experimental work on the same class of materials. This is our third paper in our ongoing collaboration with the Diesendruck group at The Technion, stay tuned for the fourth currently underway following Or Galant’s visit in our lab this summer.
